Such a fine boyWhat a forward-thinking young manSuch a fine boyWhat a forward-thinking young manWe should send him to schoolMaybe in New EnglandHe'll be the apple of our eyeWe'll buy him a new tieDress him up and comb his hairNew England, lying on the sofaLike a loaf of breadEyes glazing over televisionImitation lifeHe's not wonderingNot wondering a thing

But this is how the thing goesWe should praise his heart insteadHe should open up the windowsDump the newsman on his head

We'll be singin' halleluiahWe'll come beckoning the skyWe'll have learned to make some choicesWe'll have fortified the whyAnd that little small voice, tucked inside the earWill be talking up a big noiseTalking up some good cheerTalking up a big noiseTalking up some good cheer

When he was only daysIn this worldWe started him on JapaneseDon't you knowIt's the wave of the futureWe played himTapes of Mozart in his sleepNew England, leaves spiralDownward kamikaze jets,Always heading ground-wardNow it's silenceLeaves piles on- smothering-Smothering the whole world

But this is how the thing goesWe should praise his heart insteadHe should open up the windowsDump a kamikaze on his head
